JOSEPH JEFFERSON.
HERE are few actors on the American stage who have so suc- ceeded as Joseph Jefferson in winning not only admiration but, in a degree, the affection of the public. The nature of the parts in which he has distinguished himself, notably that of Rip Van Winkle, may have had something to do with this, but there is much in the personal character of the man himself to win such regard. He was born in Philadelphia in 1829, and when but three years of age figured as the child in the drama of "Pizarro," then one of the most popular plays. In 1843, after the death of his father, Joseph joined a com- pany of strolling players who made their way to Texas and followed the United States army into Mexico. On his return to the Northern States the youth was engaged for minor parts in various theaters, and in 1849 married Miss Lockyer, an actress. He continued the usual life of an actor, drifting from place to place, and from 1850 to 1856 was employed as actor and stage manager in Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore and Washington. After a trip to Europe, his health having been affected, he became stage manager again, and in 1857 became connected with Laura Keene. In 1858 he made a pronounced success as "Asa Trenchard" in "Our American Cousin." In the early six- ties he sailed for Australia, in which country his success continued, and in 1865, after his return to this country, appeared, much against his own inclination, as "Rip Van Winkle." Since that time his right to be counted one of the great American actors has not been disputed, and his reputation has been fully maintained in all the parts he has taken. He is wealthy, and, when in retirement, spends his time as painter, student and angler.

ROBERT TODD LINCOLN.
TNHERITING the name which his illustrious father made the synonym 1
of wise leadership and patriotic devotion to his country, Robert T. Lincoln is one of the most modest and unassuming of public men. He was born in Springfield, Ill., in 1844, and was graduated at Har- vard University. During the latter years of the Civil war he served as a member of General Grant's staff, subsequently taking up the study of law at Harvard. He was admitted to the bar in 1867, and began the practice of his profession in Chicago, which has continued to be his home to the present day. In 1868 he was married to the daughter of Hon. James Harlan, at that time Secretary of the Interior of the United States. As a lawyer he achieved success, confining his practice largely to the United States courts and to civil suits, leaving the other branches of the work to his partners. In 1880 Mr. Lincoln was chosen a presidential elector on the Garfield and Arthur ticket, and when President Garfield assumed the duties of his office he invited the young man to a seat in his cabinet as Secretary of War. He was the youngest cabinet officer that had ever served in that capacity up to that time, and he filled the office with marked ability for four years, being retained by President Arthur after Garfield's death. In 1889 President Harrison appointed him Minister to England, and he spent the next four years in London. Returning in 1893 he has since devoted himself to the practice of law in Chicago. Mr. Lincoln, though bearing a name the most potent with his party in summoning a sentiment of affection for its wearer, has not utilized the circumstance for his personal advancement. The son of Abraham Lincoln is a hard-working Chicago lawyer.

THOMAS LOWRY.
N TOT active in politics or literature, seeking fame of no sort, but working strenuously in a broad way for material ends, because his nature will not admit of any other course on his part, Thomas Lowry has become one of the foremost figures in the great Northwest. From a struggling young attorney he has become a millionaire and has set an example of daring in new fields, worthy of imitation by young men everywhere. He was born a little over fifty years ago, one of the great brood of young Illinoisans who saw the Prairie state in its infancy coeval with their own, and after the ordinary education of a youth of the region studied law at Rushville in the state named, and later removed to Minneapolis, Minn., to engage in practice. He succeeded very well, but it was not as a lawyer that he was destined to acquire most prominence. He was one of the men who recognized the great future of Minneapolis and St. Paul and who were shrewd enough to ride with their own fortunes on the wave of development of the twin cities. He had no money to speak of, but he borrowed it of Boston capitalists, purchased the rickety street car lines of the two towns and began their steady improvement. He struggled under a great load of debt, bankruptcy often stared him in the face, but his indomitable pluck and energy, his personal popularity and his financier- ing genius carried him through eventually, and he is now the owner of one of the greatest of urban transportation systems, as well as being deeply interested in different railroad companies and one of the heaviest of owners of real estate in both the cities named. He has never been a candidate for office, though he has served as a delegate to Repub- lican national conventions. He is a remarkable man.

JOHN TYLER MORGAN.
RELIEVING implicitly in Democratic principles, Senator Morgan is one of the most consistent representatives of his party. He was born in Athens, Tenn., June 20, 1824. When nine years of age his parents removed to Calhoun County, Ala., and settled near the village of Jacksonville. In early life he attended school and later obtained an academic education. He studied law in Talladega and commenced its practice in 1845. He devoted fifteen years to the duties of his profes- sion, acquiring a reputation throughout the state as an able and elo- quent lawyer. In 1860 he was elected presidential elector, and voted for Breckinridge and Lane. In 1861 he was a delegate from Dallas to the state convention that passed the ordinance of secession. When the war broke out he enlisted in the Confederate army as a private. When the company was assigned to the Fifth Alabama Regiment, Mr. Morgan was appointed major, and soon after became lieutenant-colonel of the regiment. He was afterward commissioned as colonel, and returning to Alabama raised the Fifty-first Regiment. In 1863 he was appointed brigadier-gereral by Gen. Robert E. Lee, but refused the pro- motion in order to lead his old regiment, whose colonel had been killed. Later he was again commissioned brigadier-general and commanded a division, operating with Gen. James Longstreet in eastern Tennessee, and with Gen. Joseph E. Johnson and Gen. John B. Hood. At the close of the war he returned to Selma and resumed the practice of law. In 1876 he was a presidential elector on the Tilden and Hen- dricks ticket, and in the same year he was elected to the United States Senate. He was re-elected in 1883 and again in 1889. He is now serving his third term in that body.

WILLIAM J. NORTHEN.
N TO man has done more to advance the interests of Georgia than William J. Northen. An able, wise and trusted leader, he has won success equally as legislator, educator and governor. Mr. Northen was born in Jones County, Ga., July 9, 1835. The greatest and most successful part of his life has been identified with educational interests. He was graduated from Mercer University in 1853; began teaching school in 1854; assisted the famous instructor, Dr. Carlisle P. Beman, in the Mount Zion School, from 1856 to 1858, and then, on Dr. Beman's retirement, took control of the school, which he conducted with great success. When war was declared between the Northern and Southern States he enlisted as a private in the company com- manded by his father, who was nearly seventy years of age. Imme- diately upon his return to Hancock County he again devoted himself to school teaching, continuing in this work until 1874, when his health became impaired and he began farming. His political career dates from 1867, when he was elected a member of the state Democratic convention, which was the first political body that assembled in Georgia after the war. He was a state legislator in 1877-78, and again in 1880-81. He was state senator and chairman of the educational com- mittee of the General Assembly in 1884-85, and governor of Georgia from 1890 to 1894. As a practical and most successful farmer he has always taken a deep interest in agriculture. He has held both the vice-presidency and the presidency of the State Agricultural Society. The degree of LL. D. has been conferred upon him by Mercer Uni- versity and by Richmond College, Virginia. He is now at the head of the Georgia Immigration and Investment Bureau.

ROBERT EMORY PATTISON.
PENNSYLVANIA has produced a great many men of force of character, and among those of recent activity Robert Emory Pat- tison, late governor of the state, takes no mean rank. He is a young man. He was born in Quantico, Md., in 1850, his father being a Methodist clergyman, who was later sent to Philadelphia, where the son attended the high school, graduated and became a law student in 1869. He began practice in 1872. In 1877 and 1880 he was elected comptroller of Philadelphia and his fearless administration of the office made the foundation of his political fortunes. He was nominated by the Democrats for governor and elected in 1882. Shortly afterward he sent a message to the Legislature recommending a policy of retrench- ment and urging the modification or repeal of laws which resulted in the multiplication of useless offices. A storm ensued, but the policy of the governor was successful. His term expired in 1886, and in 1887 he was appointed a member of the Pacific Railway Commission, where his sturdy qualities were again made apparent. Again called upon by
the Democrats, he was re-elected governor, and repeated the forceful administration of his first term. During the famous Homestead riots his judicial firmness of character was especially manifested. He recog- nized the fact that "a public office is a public trust," and his career was a shining example of loyalty to principle and honor. Without being a demagogue, he adhered strictly to the course he had marked out without regard to political influence or personal feeling. He was succeeded in office in 1895 by the Republican candidate, D. H. Hastings. With his youth, his admitted ability and his wide popularity in his party, his future, politically, may be counted most promising.

JOHN DAVISON ROCKEFELLER.
P OSSESSING almost unlimited wealth, which he dispenses with the liberality of a prince to worthy objects, John D. Rockefeller is one of the most noted millionaires of the world. He was born in Richford, N. Y., July 8, 1839. In 1853 the family removed to Cleve- land, Ohio. After completing his studies at the high school Mr. Rock- efeller began his business career as clerk in the commission house of Hewitt & Tuttle. In fifteen months he became cashier, and before he was nineteen years old he engaged in the commission business in part- nership with Morris B. Clark. By 1860 the firm of Clark & Rocke- feller, with others, had established the oil refining business of Andrew, Clark & Co. In 1865 Messrs. Rockefeller & Andrews bought the interests of their associates in oil refining and established the firm of Rockefeller & Andrews. The firm of William Rockefeller & Co. was established in Cleveland, and a short time afterward the partners united in founding the firm of Rockefeller & Co. in New York, and two years later these companies were consolidated under the name of Rocke- feller, Andrews & Flagler. In 1870 the Standard Oil Company was organized with a capital of $1,000,000, with John D. Rockefeller as president. In 1882 the Standard Oil Trust was formed with a capi- tal of $70,000,000, which was afterward increased to $95,000,000. In 1892 the Supreme Court of Ohio declared the trust to be illegal, when it was dissolved. The business is now conducted by the separate com- panies, in each of which Mr. Rockefeller is a shareholder. Notwith- standing his great wealth Mr. Rockefeller is a man of simple manners and taste. He is best known as the founder of the University of Chi- cago, to which he has given $7,000,000.

CLAUDE MATTHEWS.
P PROMINENT in the politics of the West is the name of Claude Matthews, governor of Indiana. Recognized as a man of marked ability and unflinching integrity, he has commanded the respect of both parties. In fact, he is regarded as a presidential possibility. Mr. Matthews was born in Bethel, Ky., in 1845. He entered Centre Col- lege, whence he was graduated in June, 1867. In 1868 he removed to Vermillion County, Ind., where he engaged quite extensively in grain
and stock farming. He has been quite prominent in the breeding of
improved live stock. He organized the Indiana Short Horn Breeders' Association, and to him is due the formation of the National Associa- tion of the Breeders of Short Horn Cattle of the United States and Canada. In 1876 he was elected a member of the Legislature as a Democrat in a strong Republican county. In 1880 he was a strong candidate before the convention for lieutenant-governor, but withdrew. In 1890 he headed the Democratic ticket as candidate for Secretary of State, and was elected by a plurality of nearly twenty thousand. In 1892, although a candidate for re-nomination as Secretary of State he was requested to become a candidate for governor. He was elected by a plurality of nearly seven thousand. While governor he was con- fronted by many serious problems. In 1893, when the local authori- ties were helpless, he suppressed the Columbian Association at Roby, organized for the purpose of holding prize fights. The coal miners' strike of 1894 was broken in a short time by his decisive action, and the sympathetic strike of the same year interfered very little with the running of trains in Indiana. Governor Matthews lives a quiet life, devoting most of his time to the study of social questions.

RICHARD OLNEY.
A N incident of the second administration of President Cleveland was the elevation to a position of public prominence of a man who was previously but little known outside of his own state. Secretary of State Olney comes from one of the oldest and most honored New England families. He was born in Oxford, Mass., in 1835, and gradu- ated from Brown University with high honors in 1856. Two years later he graduated from the Harvard Law School, and began the prac- tice of his profession with Judge B. F. Thomas, a descendant of Isaiah Thomas, the publisher of the "Old Thomas Almanac," and founder of the "Worcester Spy." In 1861 Richard Olney married Judge Thomas' daughter, thus uniting two of the oldest and most eminent families of 1 New England. For many years Mr. Olney has been regarded as one of the ablest lawyers in Massachusetts, and his judgment in mat- ters of public and party policy has been much sought after in recent years by the younger generation of Democrats in his state. He has twice declined the offer of a place on the supreme bench of Massachu- setts, and has never sought office of any kind, although in 1874 he represented Roxbury in the state legislature, and was a candidate for attorney-general of the state in 1876, when the Democratic party was defeated. Since that time he has never aspired to public honors, but in 1893 he accepted the invitation to enter President Cleveland's Cab- inet as Attorney-General of the United States. Mr. Olney is a man of dignified bearing, one who appreciates the responsibilities of the posi- tion he occupies. He was appointed Secretary of State by President Cleveland upon the death of Walter Q. Gresham. Judson Harmon, of Cincinnati, was raised to the office of Attorney-General.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
HON. WM. RAY GARDINER, of the law firm of Gardiner & Gardiner, of Washing- ton, Ind., is widely known as a leading and popular advocate at the bar of this State, a gentleman of the highest professional at- tainments and a citizen whose record is the pride and admiration of his fellow towns- men.
He is descended from two sterling Rhode Island families, the Gardiners and the Andrews. His father, David M. Gar- diner, and his maternal grandfather, were vessel masters on the high seas for years, the latter losing his life at the hands of a mutinous crew on board his own ship.
